During their online media showcase for the album held on Oct. 12, ENHYPEN members were asked what they wanted to achieve through “Dimension: Dilemma.”
“With this album, it would be nice to be in one of the stop spots on Korean music charts and also win first place on a music show. We won first place for the first time with 'Border: Carnival' and I can't forget how happy I was. So I have a small desire to feel that way again. Among other things, I wish people would think that our songs and performances are great,” said Sunoo.
Jungwon added, “Just like what Sunoo said, I hope people listen to our songs, watch our performances and pay attention to us. Many people call us the ‘Hot Icons of the 4th Generation.’ With this album, I hope we go beyond the 4th generation and become the group that kept the most attention among all K-pop groups.”
“We want to show our skills and talents through this album,” said Jay.
Belift Lab announced that “Dimension: Dilemma” topped iTunes Top Albums chart in 26 countries and regions.
